President Joe Biden Reinstates US COVID Travel Restrictions, Adds South Africa To Restricted List

US President Joe Biden will reinstate a ban on most non-US citizens entering the country, including people from Brazil and the United Kingdom where new, more transmissible variants of the coronavirus have emerged in recent months, and add South Africa to the restricted list, according to public health officials.

Earlier, former President Trump had issued an executive order announcing the removal of the ban. Donald Trump issued an order before his term ended. The order called for the removal of restrictions on travel from Britain, Europe, Brazil, and Ireland. The order was to come into effect from the 26th of this month, although now these restrictions will be implemented again in the US.
